I agree, the updated TOS uniforms don't really look that great. I actually like all the other uniforms we see in the Abramsverse, the Kelvin uniforms, the cadet uniforms, Pike's jacket he was wearing in the bar scene in XI, the admiral's uniform, and the dress uniforms and the flightsuits all look great. But the TOS style uniforms just look cheap and don't fit with the lineage established with the other outfits at all.

I wish they'd ditch the TOS uniforms. I like the original cast uniforms, and the grey dress unis are the closest thing.

Really? To me the updated TOS Gold/Red/Blue uniforms are perfect.

Which costumes are you referring to when you say the original cast uniforms?

The burgundy from the movies.

I think the gray dress uniforms are a riff on those.

I dont see it myself, theres nothing in the styling which would suggest those uniforms other than them being a smarter looking uniform to the TOS ones. The uniforms in the re-imagined BSG remind me more of the old movie uniforms (them and anytime I see Due South)

The flightsuits are meant to has transparent bands that simply show the colour of the shirt underneath.
In reality they just stuck a matching shape of coloured material behind the window.

Which didnt make sense when Marcus changed in the shuttle unless she changed out of her dress and into a tunic and trousers before putting on the flightsuit. I would have thought she would have stuck the flightsuit over what she was already wearing.

I liked the grey uniforms, it was a nice update. More structured than the TMP uniforms, they looked smooth.
Not sure about the hats, wasn't expecting them, but they didn't look terrible. Thumbs up on the uniforms here.

I hated the TOS uniforms, but I really found myself admiring the updated uniforms in this movie. I liked how there were layers- gray pants, military-style boots, and a black shirt underneath the colored tunic. They only wear the tunics on the ship, which makes sense. The black shirt seems to be the base of all of their uniforms.
